$5,000 on Black....D'oh!

The Bottom Line: Let's just say, "No dice."
Golden Nugget. Even the name is tempting. Like Vegas? Like gambling? Don't like getting beaten repeatedly in the slots and lose all your money and have to beg for--Waagrrgph...Aah! Sorry, forgot to breathe. Really, though, Golden Nugget has ups and downs.
First, the ups. If you like gambling, but not losing to the chump next to you who keeps knocking your chips off the board when he's shooter in Craps, this is your game. You can't lose! Play slots, Craps, Roulette, Big 10 (you know, that big game with the wheel? ... Evidently not.), Blackjack, Poker, and some others, too. You can win it big!
Downs? Well, there are a few. First, you can't print out the money you win. So no spending sprees at the mall. Second, Slots, Poker, and a few others are one player only. So big group gambling is limited. Finally, they just make the game a tad confusing. If you know the games, you'll do fine, but the rules they give in the game are complicated for the newbie.
All in all, Golden Nugget will win you less than what you paid for it. Gambling fans grab it, non fans don't touch it with a four-foot pole.
